Subtle Amnesties My love bears a warrior spirit within his breast Slaying dragons, left in abject wasteland rest Building fortress to restrain approaching steed To the victor goes the spoils in proceed To my eyes, by far a gentler giant looms More than stature but the heart that love presumes Spirit wind, the sky above least by restraint Blue his colors strength and honor seldom paint All I know of him adventures quite a while Certain elegant allure and earthy style Means pursuant to the principals instilled Sentimental on the quiet side of thrilled He is looking for a windmill in the sun Looking past me, in decisions said and done Yet the power of devotion is my guide As the strength that fuels my very will abide Though not a chain has kept the link his heart to mine My sword of truth is sheathed in temperance and time And lift him up, to gather greatness, as he will With all my might, the essence of, to love him still Copyright Kkh 1/15/07 |

Damn I loved this poem. Your creativity brings delight to a readers eyes. You did a awsome job on this poem. The title was perfect. The last stanza was heartbreaking and hopeful. Kudos (click and saved to my library)  |

He is looking for a windmill in the sun Looking past me, in decisions said and done Yet the power of devotion is my guide As the strength that fuels my very will abide yes, a fantastic write, but this to me and for me was most powerful.... well done |
